UNSPSC 85531876: Drainage of right greater saphenous vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right greater saphenous vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 069P30Z

UNSPSC 85531876 Drainage of right greater saphenous vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for venous drainage; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect entirely different procurement functions—independent medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention the code describes. State and local agencies issuing under this code classification appear to be using it incorrectly as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than as the specific procedure code it represents, creating a mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual buying activity.

The geographic distribution of recent opportunities spans multiple regions including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no single jurisdiction showing repeat activity under this code. The issuing bodies are diverse—city health benefit offices, county health departments and boards, state transportation agencies, and health system procurement offices. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits under an Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, responses due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry system locations statewide (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026). The code shows no genuine alignment with the medical services being solicited and warrants review for taxonomy correction.
